Answer:

The correct answer is A) A market share of over 50% from the combined companies

Explanation:

The Clayton Act of 1914 regulates acquisitions and mergers in the United States. This is the legal source that the Justice Deparment would use to approve or disapprove the merger described in the question. It explicitly forbids mergers that result in over 50% of market share, because it consideres a higher percentage than that (a market share from 50% to 99%) to configurate a monopoly.

The merger in the question would result in a 70% market share, way higher than the legal limit, hence it would be denied by the DOJ.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Budgeted purchase for January = $48,000

Explanation:

Opening stock of raw material = 2,000 pounds

Requirement for January = 4,000 units \times 2 per unit = 8,000 units

Also provided that inventory upto 25% of next month requirement is to be held, that is for 5,000 units of finished goods 5,000 \times 2 = 10,000 units \times 25% = 2,500 units, of raw material is required.

Total purchase for January = Closing requirement + Current month requirement - Opening Stock = 2,500 + 8,000 - 2,000 = 8,500 units to be purchased

Total purchase cost = 8,000 units \times $6 = $48,000

Final Answer

Budgeted purchase for January = $48,000

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / (1 + interest rate)^years

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / (1 + 8%)^13

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / (1+0.08)^13

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / (1.08)^13

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / 2.7196237

Price of B(0,13) = 0.3676979247

Price of B(0,13) = 0.368

Consider the following limit order book for a share of stock. The last trade in the stock occurred at a price of $70. Limit Buy
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

<u><em>$69.80</em></u>

Explanation:

Note, a market order is an order designed to execute an order immediately by <em>matching the best available price</em> on the sell order list.

When we look carefully at the sell order book, we observe that the only sell order containing the specified quantity of 120 units of shares at a price close to the market price is <u>$69.80.</u> Even though there are other cheaper orders are available, their order quantity does <em>not </em>match the market buy order for the 120 shares and thus would not be filled.
